didn't you do a Pennsylvania video some years back that listed Johnstown as one of the worst places to live? I tried to look it up in your PA video list, but 2 of those videos are marked "hidden".
I'm a native Texan (3rd generation) born and raised in Dallas, and I have lived in Ft Worth as well. I appreciate you saying nice things about our cities. We are known as The Friendly State because we will ALWAYS say hello and smile at you or anyone for that matter. ❤ It's in our upbringing.
As you mentioned. Dallas-Fort Worth is HUGE. Home to about 8 million people and growing rapidly. You’ve highlighted many reasons why we love living here. You definitely need to come back and visit some more.
@@timothykeith1367 I’ve read those predictions as well. It’s astonishing how fast the empty land has filled in for miles and miles in every direction. Dallas 1.3 million, Fort Worth to top 1 million in the next 2 years, Arlington just topped 400,000. McKinney is expected to build out to 400,000 residents, Celina to 350,000, Frisco to 330,000, Plano to 300,000. I can see the 33 million when it pours into Oklahoma.
@@Stacey505the mayor never approved that. He doesn’t have power to do so. He’s simply a “spokesperson” for the City of Dallas and his power is equivalent to a city council member. The chief executive is the city manager. The city council and the mayor, together as a whole makes the policies that run the city, not the mayor alone. What you’re talking about is the Dallas County DA. Which is a completely different governmental entity, separate from the City of Dallas.
I'm a 35 year old Fort Worth resident who's lived here since I was still in diapers... Fort Worth isn't this right-wing paradise that people made it out to be during the 2020 election. In reality, it's mainly the northern and western suburbs of Tarrant County. The city itself is more a dark purple, if anything.
I moved to Fort Worth Texas in 2007. My neighbors greeted us with a plate of home baked cookies. At the DMV, they said with a smile, "Congratulations, you are now a Texan." Truly one of the best places.
Expect it to be really hot in the Summer with at least some humidity not as humid as Houston or the southeast but still somewhat humid but May and June are humid because the frequent rains in fact we already been close to 100 here already and it’s only May so that day felt like 105. It does dry out in June and usually late June to around July 4 you wonder where the rain went it dries up and we frequently get over 100 last 2 years it’s been over 110 and last year it was that for 2 weeks practically and 105+ for a month and 100+ for over 2 months I’m not exaggerating even most early mornings it’s 80+ and humid so it still feels like 90 that’s what you should be prepared for in DFW. I’m convinced actually DFW is the hottest major city in Texas second hottest in the country behind Phoenix even San Antonio is surprisingly 5* cooler in the heart of Summer even though they do get 90 earlier in the year or keep the 90s later in the fall but we tend to stay hot until mid October ourselves but mid Summer is the worse tends to be in north Texas and along the Rio Grande River which hardly nobody lives there compared to DFW.
I was waiting for Nick to cover my metro, especially the Fort Worth area. Anytime a friend from out of state comes to visit, they’re so surprised at how nice it really is. Thanks for visiting Nick!
@@shakarussanders9911 Yeah, most of them think the whole metro is just Dallas lol I have to break it down for them. Fort Worth has definitely been gaining more attention lately, even the tourism has picked up.
One thing I like about Nick Johnson is, in every video he tries to put a positive spin on things. I live on a coast city, and they have a negative "fly over state" view of most of the USA, and would call a state like Texas boring and "nothing there" Me personally, I will take clean and boring, over exciting and a lot of crime any day.
Hate to disagree, but the positive spin is almost always on the conservative cities/regions. For example, Nick's video on Portland he sought out almost exclusively the homeless areas and a crime house. Portland is a beautiful city, with some problem areas, just like Fort Worth I'm sure.
I moved to Fort Worth for grad school and ended up marrying a native so we’ll be staying here. I really do love it aside from the driving. It astounds me that the same person driving a massive SUV they don’t need will run four red lights, pass you on the shoulder, pancake a pedestrian or two, tailgate you in the right lane, flip you the bird for daring to only go 10 over the speed limit and then then pull into the church car park and wave good morning to you with a smile.
Thanks for showing us DFW. That officer sounds like he's a mayoral candidate, or will be. Awesome score. I haven't been to the Stockyards since the mid 90's and boy has it grown!
We moved from New Jersey to the Dallas suburbs at the end of 2022. People back home sometimes ask us if we have any regrets about moving. We always reply with “we regret not moving here sooner.” Great video, as always Nick!
My Dad was a truck driver for over 35 years. Texas was his all time favorite state. He talked very favorably of Fort Worth. Thanks for your videos, Nick!
I am a long time subscriber of your channel and this video is my all time favorite! Years ago, I was fortunate to attend and graduate from TCU. I have been telling friends ever since what a friendly and wonderful city Fort Worth is to live in. Thank you so much for this positive program about Fort Worth(Cowtown😊). I am so glad that the city still seems to be as awesome as I remember it.
Thanks Nick for showing off my town of FTW….I’m a transplant from Australia now 24yrs….didn’t plan on coming here but I got hooked for the same reasons you’ve shown and much much more & I made it my home. God bless you Nick and safe travels 👍🏽
Dallas is a corporate center. It's all about money and power. But, that's not a bad thing, necessarily. Over, DFW is a great place to live. Lots of entertainment, golf courses and shopping.
I’ve been waiting for a DFW video! I’ve heard Frisco, Plano, and Mckinney are thriving burbs. I love the pride and appreciation people from Fort Worth have for their city! You won’t see any of that in most American cities, especially in California!
I was born in Bedford Texas and my family lived in North Richland Hills. Some things have changed in Fort Worth since the late 80’s, but a wonderful place to live and raise a family. Great job Nick I really enjoyed this episode.
Hey Nick. Native Dallas here. You're pretty spot on for the most part, as usual. The rivalry has pretty much faded away since Dallas and Ft. Worth have slowly expanded toward each other into the 3rd largest metro area in the country. I love Ft. Worth and I'm so glad they are hanging on to the Cowboy frame of mind for so long. Gorgeous cowgirls every where you look. Dallas is about to chase me out due to all the construction, gridlock, and I miss the old days of the Cowboys in the Super Bowl every other year.
I live 1- 1/2 hours southeast of Ft Worth. I love the DFW metroplex for shopping, The State Fair, museums, Six Flags, and eating, plus they both have some of the best hospitals in the world. I must say, although I love Dallas and Arlington, Fort Worth does have a certain special something about it. ❤
Finally!I live in north Dallas, and work closer to Ft Worth. I've been waiting for this video ever since I knew you were here..! I moved to Texas from Ohio. It is so funny to me hearing you call Dallas "fancy, flashy, wealthy and Shiny"😂😂 Ft Worth areas are no longer much cheaper.. people priced out of the Dallas areas headed to ft worth. Its getting expensive there too. Still less than Dallas but its catching up in cost fast, because everyone is headed there but still working in the Dallas area.
This was a great video to watch. I really like to see places that are sticking to what made them great places to begin with. That's what seems to be happening in Fort Worth. It's good to see that being embraced there. And it sure is good to see Nick Johnson finding a place more his speed. We all need that sometimes.
Great video! My high school marching g band and our rival high school's marching band were in the 1973 Cotton Bowl Parade and the buildings were tall but not like it is today. We landed at Love airport from Denver as DFW was just being built. Thanks for the memories.
I've been to Texas many times and I love the place! Great people, great food, lots of space unlike here in Chicago, and the folks are amicable and down to earth. One of my sons recently relocated to Houston. 🤠
The old song “I’m a little bit country, I’m a little bit rock n roll” reminds me of the dynamic of Fort Worth and Dallas. Dallas def has more hoods but we also have that grungy 1990s rock vibe,.. at least we used to!
Amazing example to set for how law enforcement should be. Part of the community, while still caring enough about the community to keep the streets clean and safe. I visited once and loved it.
Thank you for this video of Fort Worth ! It is wonderful . I am now planning to go there for a visit. Officer Calzada is such a nice person.I need to go to a positive motivating city like Fort Worth .
Been in Texas since 2021 and I love it here. I left CA in 2021 because of the you know what but Texas is such a unique state with people who take pride in being Texan. It’s pretty cool. Only regret is I should have moved sooner.
Thank you so much for this video on Fort Worth, my hometown. I am living out of state but hope to move back home this year. Can't believe the changes and so glad to see how clean it all is. You did a great job.
It is refreshing to see how nice those cities are!! I would even consider Texas as a vacation destination!! I love the “Cowboy Rodeo” theme!! And the two police officers were fantastic!! Fort Worth looks like a great place!!Thanks for the video Nick!! 🤗
So true they are different cities! I've worked in both. Difficult getting around in Ft Worth, as the streets are built kind of in a wagon wheel design, & most of the original street signs are missing. Speaking of the hood in Dallas, my work took me there. One day, I had to go see an elderly, bedbound man. The front door was broken & had no way of being secured anymore. I kept knocking loudly & yelling as loud as I could. I finally, & cautiously, opened it & finally stepped inside. I startled the man awake, as he roused himself to a half sitting position in bed, & his 357 dropped from beneath his pillow onto the floor. He apologized, immediately retrieved it back under his pillow & invited me in. I assured him I'd always knock & yell loudly before entering each time. I have other stories from the hood for the grandkids, but I finally made my own escape to the country. (Great git-up you had on for Ft Worth, but I'm not sure it would go over in Big D!)
I like cities that built their roads when horse and carriage were the big thing. I remember living in Colorado Springs the roads and intersections were so wide. They designed it that way so you could maneuver a horse and carriage changing directions in one swoop.
@@jrs4ex That makes sense! Often the streets stop at a cross street, & begin again a half block over. It drove me crazy. However, I must say I would prefer living in Ft Worth than Dallas (but I was country girl before moving to Dallas).
Dallas is definitely just about the Money. It’s not a bad thing it’s just what it is. Dallas revolves around money. In Dallas If it ain’t about money nobody cares. ❤️DTX
Go Fort Worth!.❤ My best times were always in Fort Worth when I used to travel to the DFW area for work. And I always felt safer there than in Vancouver BC, anyday of the week!
@Nick Johnson, I’m a Fort Worth native. Hopefully the next time you come to Fort Worth I can get a chance to see you in person. Appreciate your complements about our city. I follow your channel and love your work. Keep up the good work my brother!✌🏽
I was in Fort Worth and Dallas last year. That city was MUCH better than I thought it was gonna be. Its high on a list of places I would move but damn if the taxes. tolls and fees are a killer once you do the numbers
Driving during the evening rush hour from DFW airport area on my way to Austin, it’d take hours. So, the Toll & over $20 just to get outta that congested area - driving thru the southern side of Ft.W. is a heartbreaking mess. But the city proper, yeeesss indeed!
I'm a DFW resident i grew up in Ft Worth to be exact! The area has changed so much! The urban cowboy vibe that's been here for generations, is slowly disappearing! Ft Worth still has it but it not in Dallas like it used to be! Not to many J.R. Ewings anymore. That being said this is my hometown and i will always love DFW!
Also Dallas ft worth is the largest metro area in the “south” you could never experience the whole are in one trip . We have so many suburbs and cities
Fort Worth and the area west of Fort Worth is still traditional…a lot of growth but it just seems better than a lot of the other parts of state…it is a good family town
Fort Worth definitely beats every city in Texas. Despite me growing up in a rough place like in Austin, I appreciate the tradition the stockyards keep in place, it feels more lively there. Even a lot of my good friends come from the DFW area but really Fort Worth is something special. Gotta love the rodeos, they’re fun.
I live in Houston I'm from Houston but I must say that I have a special place in my heart for fort Worth because fort Worth is tried and true fort Worth is the backbone of Dallas is what's keeping Dallas afloat pretty soon fort Worth will surpass Dallas in population if it keeps the trend that is going right now it's a very clean beautiful charming City it looks like one big master plan community / theme park!
Next time you're in Ft. Worth go to the Ole South Pancake House, it's killer. Down by TCU. I do like Ft.Worth better than Dallas. Lived in Arlington as a kid.
@texasgina I don't mind driving there being as I lived in Houston for a few years and that us some rough driving. We'd go to DFW and it was like a nice smooth vacation drive. Hahaha
Yes absolutely do a video of the stockyard. You got my attention regarding FW. We are preparing to sell our house and land in Florida ( cow country ) and travel full time in our RV. I NEVER planned on Texas urban areas since I cannot stand urban areas. But more and more I’m seeing places to visit in Texas.
Hello, il y a 2 semaines, j'ai visité le texax ( houston, sa. Antonio, fort worth et dallas). J'ai adoré l'état de l'étoile solitaire. Mon voyage à commencé à chicago, puis j'ai visité les états du sud juska ce que je suis arrivé au texas, et la on voit que les texan sont très fière d être texan , le drapeau texan flotte par tout , ainsi l étoile solitaire est partout , même sur les ponts. J'ai adoré le BBQ TEXAN , CUIT à la fumée pendant des heures et des heures. Me voilà maintenant au retour en Europe, avec la pluie et grisaille ( depuis le mois de mais , le climat est noche chez nous) . J'aime beaucoup les USA.
Went thru Dallas in 77 as well as San Antonio . Fort Worth seems like a nice place to vacation or even to live. I like the Texas accent being born there myself.One of first things a person will pick up on if they go to Texas is the accent. Even the hood slang is different there too. Mike in Denver😊😮

💯 a great representative.
I agree
Wow he was Great! We need more of him! Thank you sir! Come to Canada 🇨🇦!
I would love one of those Patches!
😂😂😂😂😂😂no
I liked that Officer Calzada. He had a great, positive attitude!
Officer Calzada sets the example for every Officer in America! 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲
Yes I like him and all police officers
That accent tho
I live in DFW, and he is always like that. He even shows up on the evening news every now and then.
That Cop’s friendly personality says A LOT about that city!

Wait till they get a refugee camp

I want to move out of Frisco and to Fort Worth. Didn’t realize Frisco was little India now…
@@MrNiceGuy500 Coppell, Las Colinas, Valley Ranch… and on & on it goes. There’s a lot more cultural & int’l diversity in TX than people think

A report a few weeks ago predicted the North Texas population will peak at 33 million and extend into Oklahoma
@@timothykeith1367 I’ve read those predictions as well. It’s astonishing how fast the empty land has filled in for miles and miles in every direction.

@@timothykeith1367Wow.!!! For real?
Fort Worth is 🔴
Dallas is 🔵
I remember back 2018 the mayor of Dallas approved theft of 750.00 he recently changed from dem to rep. 😅
@@Stacey505the mayor never approved that. He doesn’t have power to do so. He’s simply a “spokesperson” for the City of Dallas and his power is equivalent to a city council member.

Watch them moving over to Fort Worth and flipping it blue

Fort Worth isn't this right-wing paradise that people made it out to be during the 2020 election. In reality, it's mainly the northern and western suburbs of Tarrant County. The city itself is more a dark purple, if anything.
I grew up Ft. Worth all my life. It's always had its charm. I went away for three years and I haven't been more grateful for being back.
I moved to Fort Worth Texas in 2007. My neighbors greeted us with a plate of home baked cookies. At the DMV, they said with a smile, "Congratulations, you are now a Texan." Truly one of the best places.

He apologized, immediately retrieved it back under his pillow & invited me in. I assured him I'd always knock & yell loudly before entering each time.
I have other stories from the hood for the grandkids, but I finally made my own escape to the country.
(Great git-up you had on for Ft Worth, but I'm not sure it would go over in Big D!)
I like cities that built their roads when horse and carriage were the big thing. I remember living in Colorado Springs the roads and intersections were so wide. They designed it that way so you could maneuver a horse and carriage changing directions in one swoop.
@@jrs4ex That makes sense! Often the streets stop at a cross street, & begin again a half block over. It drove me crazy.
However, I must say I would prefer living in Ft Worth than Dallas (but I was country girl before moving to Dallas).
Very nice~I think I'll move to Fort Worth,Texas😊 Yaya! enjoyed watching the video.
I’m thinking Nick and Mappy should move to Texas…they have so much fun and I enjoy seeing them in Texas. Dallas Ft Worth my favorite so far.
I dated a Ft. Worth cop once & IDK what it is but a delightful personality & his service was… uhh, outstanding…😎
You should visit Texas in the summer! It's hot as hell!
We lived near the DFW metro for several years and loved it, especially Fort Worth. I'd gladly live there again.
Dallas is definitely just about the Money. It’s not a bad thing it’s just what it is. Dallas revolves around money. In Dallas If it ain’t about money nobody cares. ❤️DTX
Go Fort Worth!.❤ My best times were always in Fort Worth when I used to travel to the DFW area for work.
And I always felt safer there than in Vancouver BC, anyday of the week!
@Nick Johnson, I’m a Fort Worth native. Hopefully the next time you come to Fort Worth I can get a chance to see you in person. Appreciate your complements about our city. I follow your channel and love your work. Keep up the good work my brother!✌🏽
I was in Fort Worth and Dallas last year. That city was MUCH better than I thought it was gonna be. Its high on a list of places I would move but damn if the taxes. tolls and fees are a killer once you do the numbers
Driving during the evening rush hour from DFW airport area on my way to Austin, it’d take hours. So, the Toll & over $20 just to get outta that congested area - driving thru the southern side of Ft.W. is a heartbreaking mess. But the city proper, yeeesss indeed!
Nice Citys. Looks good! And the Officers are sympathetic. I like it.
Love you Nick! I’m so happy you’re in my home state. I hope everyone treated you well. ❤️❤️❤️
Most did!!
Except that B in the bar!
God bless our great police officers! Thank you for the video, Nick
13:24 Ross Perot used to live in the Preston Hollow neighborhood in Noth Dallas, but he passed away in 2019.
I'm a DFW resident i grew up in Ft Worth to be exact! The area has changed so much! The urban cowboy vibe that's been here for generations, is slowly disappearing! Ft Worth still has it but it not in Dallas like it used to be! Not to many J.R. Ewings anymore. That being said this is my hometown and i will always love DFW!
Also Dallas ft worth is the largest metro area in the “south” you could never experience the whole are in one trip . We have so many suburbs and cities
Fort Worth and the area west of Fort Worth is still traditional…a lot of growth but it just seems better than a lot of the other parts of state…it is a good family town
Fort Worth definitely beats every city in Texas. Despite me growing up in a rough place like in Austin, I appreciate the tradition the stockyards keep in place, it feels more lively there. Even a lot of my good friends come from the DFW area but really Fort Worth is something special. Gotta love the rodeos, they’re fun.
6:07 Officer Buddy is awesome and funny! 😂 A very likable person. Officer Chelsea is wonderful.
I like Fort Worth. I like this video!😊❤
I like this comment!
We all get to find out in every episode that you truly do love America.. thank you for another great episode..
This was so enjoyable. Gotta love the Texans. Well done, Fort Worth!
Go my Aussie brothers, go!!! I know for a fact that they won’t let the team down. Fricken awesome!! Glad you had the pleasure Nick! ♥️♥️⭐️🇦🇺
Thank You Nick Johnson For This Interesting Video❤❤.
This looks like a nice little slice of America.
I live in Houston I'm from Houston but I must say that I have a special place in my heart for fort Worth because fort Worth is tried and true fort Worth is the backbone of Dallas is what's keeping Dallas afloat pretty soon fort Worth will surpass Dallas in population if it keeps the trend that is going right now it's a very clean beautiful charming City it looks like one big master plan community / theme park!
Next time you're in Ft. Worth go to the Ole South Pancake House, it's killer. Down by TCU. I do like Ft.Worth better than Dallas. Lived in Arlington as a kid.
@texasgina I don't mind driving there being as I lived in Houston for a few years and that us some rough driving. We'd go to DFW and it was like a nice smooth vacation drive. Hahaha
This made me subscribe. When we drive from Austin to Fort Worth, we have such a great time.
You hadn't subscribed by now Yolanda??
Yes absolutely do a video of the stockyard.
You got my attention regarding FW.
We are preparing to sell our house and land in Florida ( cow country ) and travel full time in our RV.
I NEVER planned on Texas urban areas since I cannot stand urban areas.
But more and more I’m seeing places to visit in Texas.
Wow! Looks like DTLA in the late 80's. Must be that money keeps it nice! Fort Worth seems like the place to be. Like the attitudes, a lot!
Thank you for going to and exposing these deplorable states and the awful conditions so that we don't have to! stay safe!
And I loved Buddy the police officer.wish our police in Australia were that friendly and community friendly and helpful.great guy.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ YAY! My favorite place in the world!!
This is one of the first cities you've explored that I actually felt drawn to, thanks for that!
Hello, il y a 2 semaines, j'ai visité le texax ( houston, sa. Antonio, fort worth et dallas).
J'ai adoré l'état de l'étoile solitaire.
Mon voyage à commencé à chicago, puis j'ai visité les états du sud juska ce que je suis arrivé au texas, et la on voit que les texan sont très fière d être texan , le drapeau texan flotte par tout , ainsi l étoile solitaire est partout , même sur les ponts.
J'ai adoré le BBQ TEXAN , CUIT à la fumée pendant des heures et des heures.
Me voilà maintenant au retour en Europe, avec la pluie et grisaille ( depuis le mois de mais , le climat est noche chez nous) .
J'aime beaucoup les USA.
Nick, you gone to Luby's restaurant yet? That's a big thing down there, not many cafeterias left in the US anymore.
Or Mama's pizza in FW. It is just a good solid pizza.
You giving Fort Worth a thumbs 👍🏾 is golden.
Nick and Mappy ❤❤❤😮😮😮😊😊😊
Hope you had a good weekend Wanda!
I moved to Fort Worth a year ago and love it. Scary weather takes a while to get use to. Working at Serious Pizza is fun.
Went thru Dallas in 77 as well as San Antonio . Fort Worth seems like a nice place to vacation or even to live. I like the Texas accent being born there myself.One of first things a person will pick up on if they go to Texas is the accent. Even the hood slang is different there too. Mike in Denver😊😮
